Keeping your Companies House records accurate protects your business and supports compliance with director responsibilities. We help businesses across the UK manage statutory filings and confirmation statements. 

Companies House is a public register. Your details are visible to customers, lenders and HMRC. Accuracy demonstrates professionalism and good governance. 

What Must Be Updated? 

You must report changes to: 

  • Registered office address 
  • Director appointments or resignations 
  • People with Significant Control 
  • Share structure 
  • Company name 
  • Annual confirmation statement 

If governance arrangements change, updated Articles of Association must also be filed. 

Identity verification requirements now apply to directors and PSCs. Our guide on PSC ID verification explains what you need to complete. 

Why Ongoing Review Is Important 

Increased Companies House powers mean inaccurate records are more likely to be challenged. Our overview of Companies House enforcement changes explains the broader regulatory shift. 

Regular oversight ensures your statutory filings align with your accounting and tax records.
